93 dodge dakota wont idle

I am the proud owner of a `93 dodge dakota. 3.9 v6
The vehicle runs and idles ok when cold, as it warms up it stalls when put
into gear and as it gets up to running temp it has trouble even cranking and

idling at all unless you open the throttle WIDE OPEN and then it seems to be
flooding really bad.
The truck runs ok on road if you can get it to take off, but stalls and dies
at stop signs and absolutely will not idle when put into gear. please keep
in mind it does idle and idle in gear when its cold, not when it warms up. I
have replaced the idle air control valve , no codes pressent at this time.
very puzzling. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Scott

I had the same problem with my 93 Dakota V8 a few years ago. I took it to
the dealer and he said that cleaning the injectors would solve the problem
and it would only cost $150. I think that was the price. I got some
Techron and ran a couple of tanks of that through the system and after a
couple of weeks, it was running like a top. Since then I put a bottle of
techron through the system in all my vehicles about once every 3-4 months.
